NEW GUINEA 
BUTTER VINE os 
ONE OF THE MOST DELICIOUS 
OF ALL VEGETABLES 

Tampala is a delicious green 
vegetable, the leaves of which may 
be eaten raw or cooked like spin- 
ach. Much better than spinach in 
flavor and in many other re- 
spects. Tampala is entirely dif- 
ferent in flavor to other vegeta- 
bles. More food yalue than either 
spinach or chard, and so tender the 
leaves require only five minutes to 
cook, with only the water that 
clings to the leaves when washed. 
Branches 4 to 5 inches in length 
may be quickly gathered instead of 
picking individual leaves. 
The New Guinea Butter Vine is a wonder ’ 
ful vegetable. Grows to enormous size, one 
fruit often weighing 15 lbs. and from 3 to 5 
feet long. In growth it is similar to the 
squash, and can be grown in the same man- 
ner or can be trellised up. It is more pro- 
ductive than squash and much easier to 
grow. The vines are always free from dis- 
ease and insect pests, and stand more neg- 
lect and abuse than any other vegetable 
vine we know of. The fruits should be 
eaten when small, while the fuzzy growth is * 
yet on. It can be cooked like Squash and 
fried like Egg Plant. When cut up-in-small 
pieces and cooked with cream or fried it 
is most delicious. (Pkt. 15c), prepaid. 
Tampala may be planted early 
and is usually readyefor eating in 
six weeks after seed is sown. It 
does well in hot weather and will 
keep on producing all summer,
